Slight loss of normal lumbar lordosis is a subjective evaluation by the radiologist of the alignment of the lumbar vertebrae which should form a forward facing curve on the lateral x-ray of the lumbar spine. It is a highly subjective evaluation and for the most part, when slight, can not be inferred to have any specific meaning. A normal lumbar spine may seem to have a slight loss of lordosis. Pain, muscle spasm, arthrosis and a host of other conditions may be associated with the finding.

Loss of lumbar lordosis?

Lordosis is a backward curvature of the spine, while kyphosis is a forward curvature of the spine. The term lumbar referrs to the lower back. In the lumbar region the back is supposed to have lordosis. So loss of lordosis is when the natural curvature of the spine is absent. In other words, instead of the normal and necessary inward curve, the spine is straight. This can lead to misalignment of the pelvis causing lower back or knee pain.

What is the effect of mild loss of lumbar lordosis is it a danger level does it need any surgery?

Mild loss of the lumbar lordosis is probably a result of spasm of the low back muscles (called paraspinal muscles).  Lordosis is the normal curvature of the lumbar spine (the part of your spine in your low back.  A lumbar lordosis usually curves so that the concave side faces your back and the convex side faces your front.  With poor biomechanics, muscle spasm, or some injuries you can lose this natural curve.  A loss of lumbar lordorsis is refered to as alordosis or hypolordosis.  This by itself is generally not considered an indication for surgery.  You may be able to restore your lordotic curve with some chiropractic techniques like Chiropractic Biophysics or Pettibon.


What is Loss of normal lumber?

Loss of normal lumbar lordosis refers to a reduction or flattening of the natural curvature of the lower back (lumbar spine). This condition can result from various factors, including muscle imbalances, spinal injuries, or degenerative changes. It may lead to discomfort, pain, and altered posture, potentially affecting overall mobility and function. Treatment often involves physical therapy, exercises to strengthen core muscles, and addressing any underlying issues.


What are symptoms of cervical lordosis?

If you look at someone from the side, you notice that the spine is shaped a little like an "S"... The low portion of your back is called the lumbar area. What the above means is that the lumbar area of this "S" shape in straightened --or flattened-- thus producing a straightened lower spine... It usually occurs with back spasms, but maight not really be important... The spine is shaped like this to allow better balancing for standing.


What is progressive loss of lordosis and early kyphosis?

Progressive loss of lordosis refers to the gradual reduction of the natural inward curvature of the spine, particularly in the cervical or lumbar regions. Early kyphosis is the onset of an abnormal outward curvature of the spine, leading to a hunched posture. These conditions can result from various factors, including degenerative changes, poor posture, or spinal injuries, and may lead to discomfort, reduced mobility, and potential complications if not addressed. Treatment often involves physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
